About Joan Genty

We live near Manchester in the UK and work in public relations with my husband, Paul, a journalist. We've been visiting Florida for several years and decided to buy a property there in 2005. It's a highlight of the year for us when we visit every November for a little Florida sunshine, before facing a murky Manchester winter.

Joan Genty purchased this Condo in 2005

Why Joan Genty chose Davenport

We fell in love with Bahama Bay on our first site visit. It has a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere and fabulous facilities. It's close to all the attractions, but there's so much more to see and so we love it because it's a great base for visiting some of the other beautiful places in Florida. We constantly add personal touches to make our guests feel like it's a home rather than a bare holiday let.

What makes this Condo unique

It's a home from home, but with added extras, like a spa, fitness centre, private lakeside beach, sports facilities and so much more.

Fantastic Davenport Condo (also close to Disney)

5/5

Stayed Sep 2017

dawn s.

Beautiful Condo in a fantastic resort with everything you need to keep the family happy. Lake Davenport is a nice quiet area with plenty of shops and restaurants near by but with none of the queues! The bonus is you can then drive to the Disney parks in under half an hour! You are also an easy drive to either coast which is great.

The Condo is a lovely home from home and feels very secluded on the top floor with neither balcony being over looked. The pool is just out the back but again the trees mean it isn't noisey and you aren't overlooked. We loved being able to nip downstairs and out to the pool whenever our son fancied! The splash pad is also brilliant for the kids and just across the road from the condo. The main clubhouse is a short walk but that suited us as you are far enough away from the music and noise from the entertainment nights etc! Overall we loved the condo and resort and would recommend late September early October as a nice quiet time to visit. We have started saving for our next trip!!! Thank you Joan!!

Our Stay at Bahama Bay

We've been renting from the same owner, and the same unit, for 6 years. You can tell by our length of stay that we were not disappointed. We're particular people and would not have stayed there if the unit didn't meet our standards.The owner was super to work with, and management was always on hand to answer our concerns. You will not be disappointed by renting this property.

This is a fantastic condo, with everything you could need for a very enjoyable stay. It's beautifully decorated, with tasteful touches and attention to detail. The kitchen is equipped with all you'll need to self cater, but it's very easy to opt not to that. There are great places to eat on the resort, and also lots of options for home delivery items if you'd rather stay home and chill out. And it's easy to do that with the great big TV that's in the sitting room, or on thelovely balcony to sit out with a glass or two of wine. This is also a great spot for breakfast and wildlife watching. The resort is very well equipped too, though when we were there we didn't take full advantage of the pools and beach and scoring opportunities, as we were out and about most days. The condo is well situated for theme parks and for great mall based shopping. Add to this that it's not a very long drive away from Orlando airport, so you can be on the spot very quickly after arrival. We loved our time there, and would go back in a trice.

Very well equipped apartment on a lovely site. The pools are all lovely with jacuzzis at each one. Very relaxing, the kids loved the splash pad area. Staff on the resort were friendly and helpful. Was very central for days out. A great place to spend a family holiday.

Destination

Perfect base for golfing holiday: Central Florida is a golfing paradise, with over 100 courses within a 45 minute drive of Orlando. Many of them are championship standard, and a large number open to non members. Golf clubs only a short drive from Bahama Bay include Falcon Fire, Seralago Boulevard, MetroWest, Ridgewood Lakes and Black Bear. But there are many more.

Add a touch of luxury to your stay: Cenote Spa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy one of 60 treatments – from luxurious massage treatments to natural cleansing facials and invigorating body wraps. Cenote salon offers hair styling, manicures and pedicures, plus airbrush tanning and waxing.

The fitness facilities and sauna at the spa are open daily from 6.00am and are free to guests.

Theme parks and retail therapy.: Bahama Bay is so close to Disney that you can see the Magic Kingdom's evening firework display from the clubhouse pool bar. The resort is also only about a 25 minute drive to other theme parks such as Sea World, Universal Studios and Discovery Cove.

If you want a break from the theme parks and fancy a bit of retail therapy, there are several factory outlets like those at Orlando Premium Outlets at Vineland and International Drive, as well as upmarket malls like Florida Mall and the latest, Mall at Millenia.
